In the Prestige, there's a part where Angier kidnaps Borden's mute assistant/friend Fallon, and ransoms him in exchange for Borden's diary. (which reveals some of Borden's stage secrets, for which Angier was coveting for most of the film) As an added dick move, Angier reveals he buried Fallon alive and leaves Borden to frantically dig him up.

Later Borden shows looking incredibly exasperated and drained, and says something like "Do you have any idea what its like to be buried alive?". The comment seems a bit odd coming from him, but just you assume his venting out frustrations on Fallon's behalf.

The scene takes on a new light if you saw the twist ending: The Borden who made that comment was the one that had been buried alive.

The film Push wasn't amazing by any means, but was pretty passable as a superhero-ish movie. One minor detail I did like is that, aside from the two leads, none of the other psychics you see are exceptionally good-looking. No Hugh Jackmans, Robert Downey Jr's, or Wesley Snipes. Even Chris Evan's good looks are toned-down. (and this was before he got his greek-god Captain America physique)

Another nice perk was that the older psychics were generally the most powerful in their class. (the strongest Watcher was middle aged and constantly drugged-up, and the strongest Shadow was a tiny shriveled old asian woman) The sole exception was the female lead, who was 20-something and the best Pusher, but was only after getting a psychic-steroid.
